Golden Chief

Join the native Americans in their warpath, and help the chief claim the golden coins. The basic game combined with 3 interesting bonus features offers plenty of chances to discover the last frontier.

Five reels in four lines offer quite a normal setup, though the 100 win-lines and other features will keep you surprised for the first few playthroughs.

Golden Chief Slot Theme

I can’t say the music is exactly native American, but then I don’t really know much about native American music save the Hollywood stereotyping. I know the Sun played a prominent role in their latter days, and so it does in the background picture here as well.

Apart from the usual low-pay symbols you have the Squaw, though that seems to be a banned term these days, a war totem, a bear for hunting, and of course the Chief himself.

Absurdly enough, the most theme-fitting part of this Barcrest slot is the info, rules and help section. Give it a read!

Betting Options and Functions

Your total bet can range from 0.10 coins all the way to 500 coins. This is 0.01 to 25 coins per line. If your total bet is under two coins the payouts are halved. The big bet functions are played with a different set as well.

For stakes above two coins, you get wins ranging two to five hundred times your line bet. There are 10 to 20 pay-lines in use normally, but with the Wild, this expands into a 100, or 50 depending on your bet.

If you get an Expanding Wild you might get a MYSTERY symbol upgrade as well!

You also have the chance to play a big bet game:

By paying a set extra bet, you can choose between three options, each giving five or more spins and also:

• Increase awards
• Double scatter height
• Add sticky expanding wilds
• Give extra spins
• Add extra win lines

Choose carefully as there is a price to pay. The maximum win in the game is 250 000 coins.

Features

Golden Chief is the name of the bonus game, which is where the slot gains its name as well. Once three or four scatters land on the reels, one of the three bonus features will launch:

• Five scatters award a cash prize
• A golden bonus wheel will decide the bonus feature
• With four scatters, you get the SUPER version of the bonus games

In the Totem Riches bonus feature, you get to choose totem poles, each rewarding you with a growing multiplier. In the super version you get an extra life, and higher multipliers. The game ends with the collect.

In Cash Canyon you move along the canyon floor, collecting cash prizes. A bonus wheel determines how many steps you get to take. In the super version, you get bigger prizes.

The third bonus game is a free spin gamble. You can either collect five or ten spins right away or gamble them all the way into thirty free spins. Choose carefully as there’s big money on the lines.

Our Take

Golden Chief is a well done and very entertaining slot with plenty of features. The only downside is that you pretty much have to bet two coins per spin or risk smaller wins. If you can afford this game from this UK-based developer, then this is an interesting game for you to try and possibly win in!
